Erik ten Hag got exactly what he wants from three Manchester United youngsters as the Under-21s continued their Papa Johns Trophy charge with an impressive 2-1 win against Barrow on Tuesday night.

Alejandro Garnacho grabbed the winner in dramatic circumstances in stoppage time at Holker Street. Having trained with the first-team this season, academy frontman Charlie McNeill won and converted a penalty for United before their League Two opponents responded via Jordan Stevens.
